We've split the page into zones!

Certain widgets can only be added to certain zones.

"Why," you ask? Because we want profile pages to have freedom of customization, but also to have some consistency. This way, when anyone visits a deviant, they know they can always find the art in the top left, and personal info in the top right.

So this is the desktop of a computer I don't use much anymore, but at least I still have it! A lot of the older desktops in my gallery, I no longer have those computers. This particular computer can't really run any video games made after 2002 or so. But it handles Gold Source games (by Valve) okay.

I haven't uploaded anything in a while, so here's what my laptop's desktop currently looks like. The background image itself changes every hour, but the icons and programs and folders and files on the desktop don't change much from day to day. Maybe over many weeks, yes.

In fiction, the idea of the "White Savior" is "a white character rescues people of color from their plight" (quoting Wikipedia). All of the films (and one book) pictured here share one thing in common. In them, an individual from a more advanced race or species visits the land or planet of a race or species less advanced, and shows them new things they haven't seen before. In most of the stories here, if not all, the two wildly different individuals fall in love with each other. Another common thread is an individual on the visiting side who has no care or regard for the population they are coming to.

Animorphs: Aldrea-Iskillion-Falan (an Andalite) goes to the Hork-Bajir planet and sees the Hork-Bajir seer Dak Hamee. Alloran-Semitur-Corrass serves as the Andalite who wants to wipe out the Hork-Bajir so the Yeerks can't use them.Avatar: Jake Sully goes to Pandora and sees the Na'vi Neytiri. Colonel Miles Quaritch wants to tear down the forest to find unobtanium.The Last Samurai: Captain Nathan Algren is taken captive in a samurai's village in the mountains of Japan. While there, he comes to sympathize with the Japanese in 1876. He comes into a light romance with Taka, the widow of the samurai he killed earlier. I'm not sure who the "bad guy" is, since I haven't seen this film. Read TV Tropes and WikipediaFernGully: The Last Rainforest: Zak Young goes to the FernGully rainforest with Crysta and falls in love with her. Hexxus is the manifestation/personification of pollution that is harming the rainforest.Pocahontas: John Smith visits North America (Virginia or Maryland) and sees Pocahontas and the Powhatan people. He eventually develops romantic feelings for her. Governor John Ratcliffe serves as the "bad guy" who wants to "kill all the savages" and take the new land.Dances With Wolves: In 1863 (13 years before The Last Samurai), Lieutenant John J. Dunbar goes to Fort Sedgwick after winning a Civil War battle for the Union. He sees Stands With A Fist (a white woman captured years ago) of the Sioux, and I think that's the romantic interest. The "bad guy" appears to be the U.S. Army.

Since my last journal, and I don't have much to show for it. My foot healed months ago, I just got a new laptop (though the old one still works when you plug it into an external monitor), and I'm going to BABScon in April. Ask me anything.
